Plagiarizing (Spring break HW)

1. What the student did wrong was that he took the material from another person and used it as his own without giving the author any credit. What he could have done was quote the site he got it from.

2. "There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion.To the left of the painting there is a massive dark structure that develops an even greater sense of size and isolation." as stated in the article A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings.
